Israel Considers Easing Rules for Autonomous Vehicle Testing

Israel is considering easing regulations for autonomous vehicle testing to encourage technological development. A draft report by an inter-ministerial team identified "over-regulation," such as the requirement for a "hands on the wheel" driver, as a key barrier. While a "sandbox" framework has allowed some testing since 2017, three new regulatory alternatives are proposed to further facilitate trials, including those without a safety driver.
